More on the Heart of the individual subject of the King

Ezekiel and Isaiah say that Satan's sin began in the heart - it was lifted up. Jesus said that if you lust in the heart, you've already committed adultery. The individual subject must guard, clean, and purify the heart. How do you do that? The grace of God, the word of God - only by these may one purify the heart to be a subject of this King. The tenth commandment - thou shalt not covet - deals with the heart. Paul says he learned about lust being a sin from the tenth commandment. The law reveals, but it does not purify. God alone by His power and grace can do that work. If we submit to this King, we'll allow Him to do that work.
